Seller's Notes

Now offered in our McDonald, PA showroom is a truly exceptional 1951 Mercury Convertible an icon of postwar American design and one of the most celebrated platforms in classic and custom car history. With its unmistakable flowing lines, broad stance, and elegant proportions, the '51 Mercury helped define the “lead sled” era and remains one of the most desirable Mercury's ever built.

This remarkable example is a multiple AACA award winner, earning both the AACA National Senior Award and the highly coveted Dearborn Award testament to its authenticity, condition, and restoration quality. Power comes from Ford's legendary 255ci flathead V8, delivering smooth, period-correct performance that perfectly suits this refined open-air cruiser.

The car has benefited from a documented restoration, complete with photos and receipts, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail throughout. Rare factory options and period amenities further elevate its desirability, making this Mercury as special mechanically and functionally as it is visually.

With only 6,759 convertibles produced for the 1951 model year and fewer than an estimated 50 believed to have survived, opportunities to own a car of this caliber are exceedingly rare. Combining award-winning pedigree, exceptional originality, and unmistakable presence, this 1951 Mercury Convertible is more than a classic—it is a cornerstone piece for any serious collection.
